Starting steps will instantly transform your staircase by changing the visual proportions. Enhancing your staircase and making it extraordinary is as simple as adding a starter step. Your staircase should make a grand statement that will leave viewers in awe of its elegance and character. Investing in a beautiful starting step is a great way to do just that.
Before choosing your starting step, it is important to know which newel post you intend to mount on it. The standard-sized starting step is usually used with an over-the-post balustrade system and most often utilizes a volute, meaning the post will sit on top of the step instead of being incorporated into the structure. Larger starting steps look best when a prominent box newel is built in conjunction with the piece, enhancing the look of the banister and making the first step truly stand out.
